The community of Queens is getting together to read--and you can get in on the action! The Big Read, a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest, is a national movement aimed at creating a country of readers.

For our part in Queens, we'll be delving into the themes of the classic Fahrenheit 451 through book discussions, film screenings and more community activities. Join us, dressed up as your favorite literary character--for fun, at the launch event, Celebrate Queens and The Big Read, at Queens Library at Flushing on Friday, 4/19.

Participate online by using the hashtag #IReadtoLive on Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram. Look for discussions on Facebook and Goodreads.
